Chords

keep the "basic chord-wise" theme but, convoluted it a bit Intro:(if you slide a C chord to the 5th then play it at 3rd 2nd fret its kinda like it) G C G C Am D Verse 1:
G        D            Em
Saturday summers when I was a kid,

      C                         Am             D
We'd run to the school yard and here's what we did,

     C            D                C             D
We'd pick out the captains and we'd choose up the teams,

       G        D          Em
It was always a measure of my self esteem.

          C                             Am
Cause the fastest, the strongest played shortstop and first,

    Am                             D
The last ones they picked were the worst.

F
I never needed to ask it was sealed 

       D                        D7            
I just took up my place in right field.
Chorus:
D7  C   G                Em        G
Playing right field, its easy you know,

C                   Am         D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,

           C           D
That's why I'm here in right field,

     C            D          G           C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
Verse 2:
        G                  Em
Playing right field can be lonely and dull,

C                                      D
Little leagues never have lefties that pull,

  C            D              C          D
I dream of the day, when they hit one my way,

G          D         Em
They never did, but still I would pray,

     C                    Am            
That I'd make a fantastic catch on the run,

    C            Am          D
And not lose the ball in the sun.

    F          
And then I'd awake from this long reverie,

    D             
And pray that the ball never came out to me.
Chorus:
D7   C  G                Em       G
Here in right field, its easy you know,

C                   Am         D
You can be awkward, you can be slow,

           C           D
That's why I'm here in right field,

     C            D          G        C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
[solo break] G C G C A D G C D E...........? Verse 3:
G                        Em
Off in the distance, the game's dragging on,

        C                           Am          D
There's strikes on the batter, some runners are on,

  C              D            C             D
I don't know the inning, I've forgotten the score.

    G             D              Em
The whole team is yelling, and I don't know what for.

C                   Am        
Suddenly everyone's looking at me,

   C             D         C             D7
My mind has been wandering, what could it be?

     F          
They point to the sky and I look up above,

        D                      D7
And the baseball falls into my glove!

D7   C  G                Em            D 
Here in right field, Its important you know,

          C           D                C           D7
You gotta know how to catch, you gotta know how to throw,

           C                 D
That's why I'm here in right field,

     C            D          G          C G
Just watching the dandelions grow.
